Cap Badge and knife are nice finds.
Don't give it up just because of someones stupid comment.
Keep at it enjoyed your digs.and finds.

Could be the end of a pump line. Would've been helpful to see down the end, if there was rifling on the inside. I would definitely dig it.

Might be the barrel from a flack gun also...They were EVERYWHERE...

Glad to see you're back! Great and cool video. You didn't show the end of the barrel. Was it open? Could be interesting!

I really enjoyed the video!!! Now, On to the tank question.....bang, bang, bang.......I believe what you found is the barrel from a German 20MM Anti-Aircraft Flak gun (very nice indeed)!

Now if the barrel was still attached, I don't think you really have any chance of removing it from its current location

Thanks and Happy Hunting

nice video!..great finds. I know this is past, but I'll comment on couple items: I really think these three items are as such: The half circle tube you thought was a handle of some sort- I think it is a exhaust pipe for a small gas engine. The slot would have clamp over it..slotted to slide over another pipe before clamping. most likely a small engine on a military generator. The round thing thought to be for a vehicle- That is a vehicle horn- probably off a jeep. The metal thing thought was a anvil of sort- that is a head to a 5lb hammer sledge. I love that gun barrell- keep us posted if tank!
